"White Freight Liner Blues" Lyrics

(Townes VanZandt)

I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
Goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

New Mexico ain't bad Lord and the people there they treat you kind
New Mexico ain't bad Lord and the people there they treat you kind
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

Bad news from Houston half of all my friends are dyin'
Bad news from Houston half of all my friends are dyin'
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back to where I came
I said Lord, I'm gonna ramble till I get back to where I came
White freight liner won't you haul away my mind.

If you see Miss Carolina tell her that I'm doin' fine
If you see Miss Carolina tell her that I'm doin' fine
White freight liner won't you haul away my mind.

I'm goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
Goin' out on the highway listen to them big trucks whine
White freight liner won't you steal away my mind.
